Broderick lowered his book from his face and cocked an eyebrow "not baby sitting you" he sat back in his chair and continued to read disappearing back behind his book as he flicked the page.

"Then why are you - " she gave up & sighed, bored, as she slumped down on the couch again & rested her feet softly against the far arm of the couch nearest him, stretching out & resting her hands over her torso, fingers linked together as if she were posing to be laid down in a casket.
Thorfinn only emerged from his room once, wearing nothing but a pair of sweats, to fetch himself a cold glass of water, but ignored them both entirely. He wasn't upset with Broderick but if avoiding them meant he didn't need to speak with Tiffany, he was happy with it.

Broderick smirked slightly from behind his book humming to himself as he continued to read while he tried to hide his amusement, he wondered what it would take to get Tiffany not to take herself so seriously.

"Can you not?" she said through gritted teeth, eyes squeezing shut a bit tighter as if trying very hard to relax. She was growing more & more frustrated the longer he sat there, fairly convinced he was either outright trying to coddle her, or just wasn't planning on leaving at all until she was fast asleep - in which case he'd been in for a long, unpleasant & exhausting night.

Broderick snorted and cocked a playful eyebrow "I'm sorry?" he asked in amusement with a chuckle.

"Go away." she whined, the last bit muffled a little as she pulled a pillow over her face in protest. She groaned into it angrily, trying to let out a bit of her pent-up frustration before she accidentally blew out a window by sheer force of will alone.

"you do realize you are in my house" Broderick commented with an amused expression still "on my couch?" he rose to his feet and sighed deeply "goodnight Tiffany" he commented softly headed for his room.

She cocked an eyebrow at him, either missing his point or simply not caring.
Whatever Thorfinn had done, had worked incredibly well. When Broderick came downstairs the next morning, presumably to let the puppy outside & get his day started, Tiffany was just beginning to peel off the bandages around her leg, & even she was surprised to see that they'd almost entirely healed over, angry gray-ish scars that looked nearly blue on her pale skin had replaced the deep, open wounds that had slashed around the top of her thigh the night before.

Broderick whistled a chipper tune as he made his way down the stairs to let a eager Edgar outside to do his doggy business. When he stepped back into the living room with a already warm cup of tea he smiled brightly "morning princess" he chimed out innocently "want some breakfast?"

She froze in place from where she was examining the new scars & set her jaw sharply, taking a shaky, deep breath, before shaking her head, unable to meet his eye properly.
"Not hungry." she barely managed to say through her teeth, her mouth so stiffly clenched shut she could hardly speak properly.

Broderick shifted his eyes and cleared his throat awkwardly at the look on her face "alrighty...." he half-smiled then turned away from her going about making himself some french toast.

It smelled heavenly, her mouth was practically watering, now, & she was almost able to motivate herself to stand up & go get some, but she couldn't move, too lazy & frozen in sleep deprivation that she simply laid her lower back against the couch side & sighed softly, giving up entirely. Thorfinn wouldn't be up for at least another 20 minutes, if even that, only because of the food scent fililng the house, now.

Broderick peeked his head out from the kitchen at the frail girl on the couch and called out "you sure you don't want some? I can bring some over to you" he commented politely she had after all been injured and it would be rude not to offer.

"I'd take an apple, if you have one." she said, instead, not lifting herself or turning her head, not even opening her eyes at this point, too lost in the weird state between rest & awakeness, her body feeling like it was buzzing through paralysis.

Broderick smiled slightly at least she was eating something "alright" he replied then stepped back into the living room handing her the apple then turned and walked back into the kitchen pouring warm sticky syrup over his freshly made french toast.
